I feel like this highlights how weird it is that Turk and Claire Temple aren't at least a cameo

IniNew2025-11-16 13:49

Couldn’t decide if we were talking about marvel or scrubs for a second

And jeri hogarth! Those 3 were the ones I felt like I keep seeing in most the shows. Turk has 10 which is the most based of this.

Outside of Jessica Jones, Hogarth only appeared in Iron Fist S1 & Defenders.

Turk was in all 6 Netflix shows. Claire was in 5, but they couldn't figure out a way to organically work her into Punisher S1, & then after Luke Cage S2, Rosario Dawson wanted to move back to LA.

BostonWeedParty2025-11-16 19:49

And daredevil season 2 as well

CaptHayfever2025-11-16 21:16

Hogarth was in DD2? Why don't I remember that?

Oroshi39652025-11-16 22:25

She appears towards the end to offer Foggy a position at her firm as a setup for him being the “big time lawyer” in season 3.

didn't she have cancer? BEFORE the bleep? how could she still be alive?

tthirtythree332025-11-16 14:17

This is awesome!! But Hogarth was also in D2 and IF1 :)

TrpTrp262025-11-16 15:02

Thank you! I'll correct this for the next updates.

BostonWeedParty2025-11-16 16:31

I knew she was in more than what was listed for her lol, her turk and Claire were kind of the main 3 that keep popping up in the different shows

I love the current iteration of punisher so this makes me happy to be able to go find specific things with him in it. Thanks for this!

Foggy Nelson has a very brief cameo in Jessica Jones season 2, episode 3. Like literally one scene. But I love this chart, I’ve been trying to get my friends into the Defenders saga, and while this won’t help it will be useful for me to rant about it.

ObviouslyHornyJPEG2025-11-16 17:28

Lol, that's dedication right there😂

Forward-Form93212025-11-16 18:40

He’s also in Luke Cage season 2 episode 6 where he’s Luke’s lawyer after Cockaroach sues Luke for attacking him

adampercywood812025-11-16 18:51

Yes there's 2 Foggy appearances missing here- JJ2 and LC2

Aromatic-Cupcake48022025-11-16 17:26

Could've sworn Claire was in every season minus Punisher

CaptHayfever2025-11-16 19:20

She was in every *show* minus Punisher, but not every season.

AHMED_3OOOO2025-11-17 07:17

Istg I thought she was in the hospital episode in Punisher season 2 when Amy and Karen wanted to get him out?

CaptHayfever2025-11-17 08:02

That would've been a good time for it, but by then Rosario Dawson had moved back to LA.

ObviouslyHornyJPEG2025-11-16 17:29

Nice job with the graph!

I hope both Claire and Turk pop up in season two of DD:BA. Let it be a complete surprise for once, too.

AlexanderZcio2025-11-16 17:38

I may be not remembering well, but I'm pretty sure Foggy also appears in Jessica Jones

Forward-Form93212025-11-16 18:41

Yep. He has a short cameo in Season 2

Vextream2025-11-16 18:17

You're missing some other crossover appearences, could be others but this is what I noticed straight away

Foggy: JJ2 & LC2

Hogarth: D2 & IF1

Madame Gao: D1, D2, IF1 & Defenders

Blake Tower: D2 & LC1

Reyes: JJ1 & D2

Echo: Hawkeye & Echo

BostonWeedParty2025-11-18 00:02

Blake tower was in D3 also I believe

DarthSomething052025-11-16 18:18

Turk wasn’t in Daredevil season 3 was he?

penguin_23062025-11-16 19:04

Dare I say, Turk is the goat

BetaRayPhil6162025-11-16 19:32

I remember turk Barrett as kind of a comedy low level criminal foil - but i recently started a rewatch and his first seen is literally him trafficking women. It's really really dark.

Oroshi39652025-11-16 22:30

I think they didn’t decide for him to be the goofy low level criminal til later on, perhaps the actor was better or more willing to appear in several shows than they expected, his first appearance in daredevil makes him out as absolutely deplorable and he quickly shifts to a more friendly role.

squ1dward_tentacles2025-11-16 20:10

how are Hawkeye and Echo considered Defenders saga but not She-Hulk? all three are tangentially related

OrganizdConfusion2025-11-16 20:50

Turk, the absolute goat.

miauthecat2025-11-16 21:00

Isn't Foggy Nelson in both Jessica Jones (S2 I believe) and Luke Cage S2?

Larry_Lurex912025-11-19 01:10

It's still such a shame Turk turned to crime. I really thought he was doing very well working for the Hawkins PD back in the 80's.

I guess the big city really changes some people...
